Pengaruh kadar air tanah terhadap biomassa cacing tanah Pontoscolex corethrurus
Journal of Biological Researches, 1995 This research was done in order to study of effect the soil humidity on earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus biomass. 80 earthworm were placed in plastic pot (12.5 cm in diameter an 10 cm on deep) contained soil media (four individuals in each pot).

Devastating Rio Doce mining disaster sends shockwaves through earthworm populations. [PDF]
J Environ QualAbstract The Fundão dam breach is considered one of the most severe environmental mining disasters globally, causing widespread changes to the soils of the Rio Doce watershed, one of Brazil's most important catchments. Given the ecological importance of earthworms to soil structure and dynamics, we investigated the richness, abundance, and biomass of ...

Phylogeography of a riparian earthworm shows environmental factors influence genetic structure
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 156-168, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim The study of cosmopolitan earthworms could be even more interesting than that of endemic species in revealing evolutionary processes. Previous research on the cosmopolitan worm Eiseniella tetraedra has indicated some phylogeographic structure among populations, but the factors responsible remain unresolved.

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract The conversion of natural vegetation to agricultural land uses in mountainous Andean landscapes threatens an array of key ecological processes and ecosystem services (ES). In protected areas and buffer regions that provide water to cities, it is critical to understand how interactions between plants and soil communities sustain a range of ...

Invasive earthworms erode soil biodiversity: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2018 Invasion ecology of below‐ground ecosystem engineers is still less known. Here, the authors quantitatively synthesize the impacts of a below‐ground ecosystem engineer (earthworms) on soil biodiversity. The results show that soil animal diversity and density substantially decrease in response to invasive earthworms.

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 5, Page 889-900, September 2021., 2021 A multi‐marker scat DNA metabarcoding approach was used to examine the dietary diversity of the world's largest and rarest otter, the iconic giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) from fecal DNA. The combined use of highly discriminant markers (COI and 12S) and of local reference databases of DNA barcodes offered a high accuracy of taxonomic assignments ...
